Hi, I'm trying to troubleshoot a PAM authentication error that is occurring on my PC-BSD 10 install, by using the pamtester utility. When I do a basic authentication test using pamtester, I get failed authentication unless I run the test as root. As a comparison, if I do the same test on Linux...

PC-BSD now has a pkgng repository, for testing purposes. I have tried this on a couple servers, and it appears to work well. The following link gives instructions for configuring to use their repository with FreeBSD. I am only using this to install pkg's, and did not use the instructions to...

I would second this. I'm thinking this might be a great learning opportunity for porting :)

Well, as it happens I experienced a crash this morning. I have saved off the log file, nothing really stands out in the log file, but I don't know if I would recognize anything wrong unless it was really screaming ERROR. Any thing in particular I should be looking for in the log file?

Odd, I thought I had responded to this last night, but my post is missing. I've not had any crashes for a couple days now, but I'll be sure to check the logs next time it occurs. I do think there may be some other issues going on with VirtualBox, but I can't confirm completely. I've noticed...

This is good to know. Thanks for the update

I'm new to FreeBSD, only using it now for about a month. I did dabble briefly with PC-BSD, and in my experience I found that as soon as I started installing with ports on PC-BSD, I started getting conflicting dependencies. Being new to *BSD, I wasn't completely sure how to resolve the issues...

I'll second, these are good instructions to follow. I've succesfully installed FreeBSD 9 with ZFS root on 2 servers now using these instructions as a starting point.

Thanks, I checked the IDE controller, and it's set to PIIX4. I think I'll try rebuilding VirtualBox with the debug symbols as a next step. I hope I can get VirtualBox a little more stable so I can rely on it, as I really like using FreeBSD.

If you give Virtualbox a try, I'd be interested in hearing how Win7 runs for you on it. I've been having some stability issues with VirtualBox running Win7 and I'm trying to determine if it's my build or if it's VirtualBox

I'm a new convert to FreeBSD, and have been trying to use it for my workstation at work for the past couple weeks. FreeBSD has been rock solid, and very easy to familiarize with. I have a need to run Windows 7 in a VM for various work related activities, and have been trying to use the newest...

FYI, building the Ports-Stable branch from Marcuscom appears to have resolved the issue.

Is there a known fix for this? I'm new to FreeBSD, and I just installed on 2 computers. Both installs exhibit this exact issue. I did a quick search and did not see any solutions for this. Any tips for resolving, or troubleshooting further would be welcomed. Thanks.
